The Moon Goose Analogue: Lunar Migration Bird Facility, Agnes Meyer-Brandis
…While preparing for her weightlessness flight experiment she discovered Frances Godwin’s The Man in the Moone. Completed in 1638, the book is one of the first works of science fiction and the first to describe the notion of weightlessness as the protagonist flies to the Moon in a chariot towed by ‘moon geese’. Fascinated and inspired by the book, Agnes set out to create an exploratory journey to the moon, powered by the flight of her own flock of geese.
